Tracking inside of CEXs

[Husires]

You can track exchange cold storage address, as all deposit addresses are moved to the cold storage address, and the platform may have several cold storage addresses.
Transactions within the chain are offchain and therefore are only recorded through their databases which are not publicly available to protect customer privacy.

You could try  wallet explorer
https://www.walletexplorer.com/

It will show some known cex addresses.

But what you are trying to accomplish will never be 100% possible. Trades are not registered in the blockchain,  as it is an internal cex transaction

The results are not up to date. It also save and sells customer data. If you search for an address using your IP address, it will be recorded.

There is a reason CEX are effective mixers, it is not a public ledger like the bitcoin on chain network is.

I get the point of the process but imagine using a mixer that requires personal information, it does not make any sense.

Including Monero (or any other privacy focused chains)? I am really very curious to know if they trace such transactions without breaking a sweat.

Com'n man, that's why they are called privacy coins for that reason. No need to ask that. Coins that are monitored and tracked on that site are the public ones and known altcoins and tokens.

Hello there
Is there a cex explorer or a way to read the blockchain and know what happens in there if its bridging or trading spot or withdrawal to a different chain from the deposit ??

Nah, this is not possible, there's no explorer to see what's happening inside the exchanges. You can only see the coin going in and not what is coming out. Who knows what happens inside is the exchange itself. It knows every coin that goes in, the swaps that take place inside and also the coin that comes out and whenever blockchain analytics companies need help tracking an address linked to scam or money laundering, it helps out.

It depends on why you are trying to blur the trace. If you are a regular person and want regular people not to be able to trace your funds, for example, if you do not want forum members to trace your funds, you can use an exchange to do that and trade amounts that do not require KYC.

Regular people cannot request an exchange to give up any information they have on you, that is only what government agencies can do.

It was a rhetorical question. I have a good reason I asked it. Seems pretty obvious, but just check what I quoted. It needed more of a clarification or correction from the person who posted to avoid misinformation.
Any newbie reading such a reply can easily be misled. Just because we know about them doesn't mean everyone does.

Aside from being a hobby I am having suspicious for that kind of hobby I understand if they follow some strategy when it comes to altcoin hunting or what but to know even whats his doing even inside the cex is kinda creepy.

Yeah, a creepy one indeed.
I mean, there have to be some reason, perhaps to trace back to who is buying and accumulating all them Bitcoins but, something you’ve got to know though, when it comes to the coins landing in an exchange, it’s an off chain address and these coins might be lodged in on address belonging to certain users, it is indeed the CEX coins until it’s transferred off from the exchanges. Even at that point, the origin isn’t well traced accept for known exchange address and there would have been a break in the traces as per the original coin.

You might not archive your purpose if it’s just a hobby, things like this comes to play in serious investigations.
